A South Indian kitchen focused on the Chettinad region's bold, meat-forward cooking and dosai traditions.
The menu centers on Chettinad mutton, a slow-cooked curry built from roasted spices and coconut, alongside Tandoori chicken and Kothu Parotta, the flatbread torn and stir-fried on a hot griddle with meat and vegetables. This specificity matters: Chettinad cuisine is regional and underrepresented in the city, drawing from Tamil Nadu's Christian merchant communities and their preference for darker, spice-heavy preparations. The mutton curry is the kitchen's anchor dish, built for those seeking a departure from the butter-heavy North Indian standard.
